Calendar Year 2001 Newsletters

Released May 23, 2001 2001 Blackberry Report The blackberries are looking great! We will start blackberry harvest MAY 30. We will start with the variety Choctaw, then move on to Arapaho about the 10 of June but it will be light [due to a frost on April 19]. Then Shawnee about 5 or 6 days later and they are loaded. This year we will have Kiowa and Apache as they are in their first bearing year. Finally we will start Chester in late July. Bottom line is we will have more this year than last year. We are expecting raspberries to begin about June 10. The blueberries are looking fantastic. We will start blueberries about June 23. We will send another card announcing blueberries in mid June. Please share this card with a friend If you would like pre picked berries please call ahead or drop us an email at hberry@innova.net.

We have limited amounts of raspberries. Raspberries will be $4 per pound u-pick and $4.00 per pint we-pick. Hours are 8 till dusk Monday through Saturday and 12 noon till dusk Sunday.
